Kayleigh has been accused of sending vile abuse online to an old school friend.

The expletive filled messages - which date back to 2010 - saw Kayleigh brand her former pal a "p***" and a "s**t", reports the Liverpool Echo.

The singer also told the person to "go back to their own country" - despite Kayleigh living in Spain at the time.

In a statement from Kayleigh, she said: “This is disgusting language which there is no excuse for. I shouldn’t have used it and I wholeheartedly apologise for using it.

“This argument took place seven years ago. I have admitted I have made mistakes in the past – and a lot of them - and I am now trying to better my life and be a better person.”

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail say Kayleigh has insisted she is "far from a racist" in a post to Facebook.

"So apparently am in all the newspapers tomorrow cause I called someone a p*** in 2010 I admit it was wrong but the girl who I called it to bullied me None stop in school and am far from a racist my daughters dad is back [sic] god people these days," Kayleigh is quoted as writing online.

Speaking the Liverpool Echo, Kayleigh commented “It’s been disgusting. I’ve been branded a racist. Apparently I have got no shame, I’m an unfit mum but it’s not true anyway. There’s no denying it was racist at all. I’m not saying what I said was right, but I’m not a racist. I have got mixed race friends and friends from all different countries.

“I understand people are going to be angry when they see it. But at the end of the day they were sent in 2010, I’ve changed a lot since then, if my children used language like that I’d be horrified."
